Worth It!

I was personally looking forward to my stay at the Empress in Victoria as I had not been there since I was a youth. All my memories were brought back to life when we entered the lobby of this fantastic hotel. You can imagine my excitement, which was only enhanced when they upgraded our room! What a thrill. They placed us on the top floor overlooking the harbor and Parlament building... spectacular! Needless to say, the room was gracious in size and grandeur. The entire staff was accommodating during our time there aswell. Overall we were very pleased. I now have new memories, which I will cherish for years to come.
